Enjoys Preconception.com

Hello, friends at Preconception.com,

I recently discovered your Web site and want to say, "Thanks!" Your site is interesting and informative concerning a topic that is "breezed over" on most other sites.

Live Chat

Hi Elisa,

A bunch of us from the Born in July board wanted to do a chat session one evening but I was thinking the chat lounge is probably too busy with everybody online. Is there a private "room" where we could go??

Thanks a lot!

Andrea

Webmother's note: Live chat is always available by going to our chat room here. If you would like to arrange a private chat, e-mail us at info@iparenting.com and we will schedule one for you!

New Board Idea

I would be interested in participating in a board/discussion group for parents of ADHD preschoolers. My son is almost 5 and has been diagnosed for a year. I think it would be great to talk to other parents in similar situations as mine and to get feedback from them, as it can be difficult raising a child with ADHD.

Thanks a lot,

Amy Lester

Webmother's note: Great idea! You can find the new board here.

Due Date Calculator Is Right On!

Just wanted to let you know, you gave me the same date as the doctor did. I have taken several of these and they are all pretty good, either a day behind or a day before, Thanks for all the great sites, I didn't have this with my first one and now I am able to include her in on the baby and let her know what is going on inside of me. I really think that is very neat!

BirthStories.com

I love reading these birth stories. I just had a baby on June 28, and had a VBAC. I had a C-section 18 months ago and this time, although the pregnancy was difficult, i.e. preterm labor, bedrest, etc. the VBAC recovery was so much easier than my C-section.

Maybe I will submit my story -- I would love to see it in print for others to read.

Sincerely,

Sharon

Pregnancy Today

Dear Elisa, CJ, and C & J,

I am writing to compliment you on this wonderful site. It was interesting, informative and inspiring. Being a mother myself, I can appreciate this site a tremendous amount. It's nice to be able to go to one place to find everything you need. You know what would be helpful though, if there were links to sites that have clothing and accessories for the mother.

Likes E-newsletter

I really enjoy your newsletter. It is very informative and helpful to me, being a relatively new mom. My son is 7 months old, and very loveable, yet this is a completely new experience. Your newsletters give helpful tips on such a variety of subjects, that I can usually find the advice I need. Thanks.

Pregnancy Daily

The Pregnancy Daily is a very good source for me. It has helped me through the first 4 months of pregnancy. Even though this is my second child, I didn't have the 'net until a year ago. Thanks a bunch.

More On Pregnancy Daily

I have been frequenting your site for about 2 months now, and I love it! I wish I had access to such a wealth of information when I had my first child. It would be nice, though, if you included more information about size in "The Daily." (Regarding both Mom's belly size and baby's average size, weight, and length.)

Could you include more information of this sort in "The Daily?"

Likes Preconception.com -- Six Kids

I think this site is wonderful. We have six beautiful children and have decided to try for two more. No, we are not crazy, we just had a medical reversal done on my husband after 6.5 years. We were not planning to have any more but our children want us to try for two more. Your site has been wonderful. I can relate to a lot of the women going through the waiting game and trying to conceive. We tried for almost a year before we conceived our first and now we have been trying for 6 months this time. Been pg once but lost at 6 weeks. We will keep trying and I will definitely continue to visit the many different sites. I cannot believe how much has changed with want there is available. I never used a pg test, just waited to be tested at the doctor's office. Keep up the good work and I have passed the site onto many of our younger friends.

Toddlers Today

Thank you so much for your question and answer article on nursing a 15 month old. My son, Jarin, just turned one at the end of August. I keep getting the same question: "When are you going to stop nursing him?" as well as lots of negative comments. My pediatrician even told me I need to stop nursing!!! I am printing off the answer so that I can show anyone who asks.

I love your site. Thanks for all your work.

New Diary Format

Hi!

Just wanted to thank you for the restructuring of the pregnancy diaries main page. It looks super and it's much easier to navigate. I enjoy the diaries. I got hooked on them while my daughter was pregnant and I was surfing the Internet and printing them out for her. Now, I can't stop reading them! I want to know how "it all turned out".

And the baby diaries are great. My youngest daughter moved back home with us after the birth of Jacob. It's almost like I've never been around a baby before! Your diaries are very helpful as is all of your Web site. I imagine that I'll be visiting here for a LONG time.

Thanks again,

Janis (and 4-month-old Jacob)

Good Bed Rest Area

Dear Elisa,

Let me commend you on an excellent Web site. This is really the best pregnancy complications/bedrest site that I have seen. I was so impressed with your Web journal of your pregnancy and bedrest.
